[0035] When applying chocolate coating to ice cream, the ice cream needs to be dipped in liquid chocolate first, and in order to make the chocolate layer more uniform and complete, the ice cream needs to be dipped in the chocolate liquid repeatedly, and then the chocolate ice cream is placed in a liquid cooling pool to cool so that the chocolate spread on the ice cream is completely solidified. Because the chocolate liquid in chocolate box 110 is warm, while the temperature in cooling box 111 is lower, heat transfer occurs between chocolate box 110 and cooling box 111, which easily leads to a low temperature in chocolate box 110, causing the chocolate liquid to solidify, while the temperature in cooling box 111 is higher, causing the chocolate layer on the ice cream to fail to solidify. In order to reduce heat transfer between cooling box 110 and cooling box 111, cooling box 110 and cooling box 111 are opened when they are used. When it is not needed, it is closed. When the present invention is used to coat the ice cream with chocolate, the ice cream is first held by the manipulator 17, and then the conveyor belt 14 is controlled to rotate clockwise. The rotation of the conveyor belt 14 will drive the fixed plate 11, the connecting plate 115 and the ice cream to rotate clockwise, and the ice cream will rotate to the bottom of the conveyor belt 14. At this time, under the gravity of the ice cream and the connecting plate 115, the connecting plate 115 will move downward a short distance, and the first return spring 16 will be slightly stretched. After the connecting plate 115 moves to the bottom of the conveyor belt 14, the connecting plate 115 will continue to move to the left. During the movement, the connecting plate 115 will contact the first top plate 18, and the first top plate 18 will squeeze the connecting plate 115. Under the squeezing action of the first top plate 18, the connecting plate 115 The first support rod 119 is moved downwards and the second support rod 119 is moved downwards, ... first support rod 119 is moved downwards, and the first support rod 119 is moved downwards, and the second support rod 119 is moved downwards, and the second support rod 119 is moved downwards, and the first support rod 119 is moved downwards, and the first support rod 119 is moved downwards, and the second support rod 119 is moved downwards, and the first support rod 119 is moved downwards, and the first support rod 119 is moved downwards, and the second support rod 119 is moved downwards, and the first support rod 119 is moved downwards, and the first support rod 119 is moved downwards, and the second support rod 119 is moved downwards, and the first support rod 119 is moved downwards, and the first support rod 119 is moved downwards, and the first support rod 119 is moved downwards, and the second support rod 119 is moved downwards, and the first support rod 119 is moved downwards, and the first support rod 119 is moved downwards, and the first support rod 119 The second heat insulation cover 113 on the side moves to the left and the first heat insulation cover 112 on the right side moves to the right and no longer covers the chocolate box 110, so that the ice cream moving downward enters the chocolate box 110 to dip in chocolate, and the connecting plate 115 continues to move a short distance to the left to the bottom middle position of the first top plate 18. In this process, the first top plate 18 no longer squeezes the connecting plate 115, and the first return spring 16 shrinks at this time. The shrinkage of the first return spring 16 drives the connecting plate 115 to move upward, and the connecting plate 115 drives the manipulator 17 and the ice cream to move upward together, and the ice cream moves upward and moves out of the chocolate liquid. The connecting plate 115 moves upward and no longer squeezes the pressing rod 117, and the stretched second return spring 116 shrinks at this time.The second return spring 116 will drive the pressing rod 117 to move upward, and the pressing rod 117 will move upward to drive the second opening rod 120 to move upward and rotate counterclockwise, and the second limiting rod 118 will also move upward and rotate clockwise, the second heat insulation cover 113 and the first heat insulation cover 112 will move inward to close the chocolate box 110, the connecting plate 115 will continue to move to the left, the first top plate 18 will squeeze the connecting plate 115 again, the first return spring 16 will extend, the ice cream will move downward again, and the second heat insulation cover 113 and the first heat insulation cover 112 will move inward to close the chocolate box 110, and the connecting plate 115 will continue to move to the left. The first top plate 18 will squeeze the connecting plate 115 again, the first return spring 16 will extend, and the ice cream will move downward again. 3 and the first heat insulation cover 112 will also open again, and the ice cream will enter the chocolate box 110 again to dip in the chocolate liquid. After the connecting plate 115 continues to move to the left and separates from the first top plate 18, the first return spring 16 will contract, driving the connecting plate 115 and the ice cream to move upward and reset, while the second heat insulation cover 113 and the first heat insulation cover 112 located on the right side will move inward to close the chocolate box 110. The connecting plate 115 continues to move to the left to contact and squeeze the second top plate 19. Under the action, the connecting plate 115 will move downward, and the ice cream with chocolate will also move downward. The downward movement of the connecting plate 115 will squeeze the lower pressure rod 117 on the left, and the lower pressure rod 117 on the left will move downward. The same as the movement principle of the first heat insulation cover 112 and the second heat insulation cover 113 on the right, the downward movement of the lower pressure rod 117 on the left will cause the first heat insulation cover 112 and the second heat insulation cover 113 on the left to move outward and open, and the ice cream dipped in chocolate liquid will move downward into the cooling box 111, and the cooling box 111 will cool the ice cream dipped in chocolate liquid. When the connecting plate 115 moves to be separated from the second top plate 19, the chocolate ice cream will move upward to reset, and with the rotation of the conveyor belt 14, the chocolate ice cream will move to the top of the conveyor belt 14, and then the working principle is to remove the ice cream coated with chocolate from the manipulator 17. Repeat the above operation to continuously coat the ice cream on the conveyor belt 14 with chocolate. In this way, the ice cream can be coated with chocolate and cooled only by the rotation of the belt.

[0036] Embodiment 2: Based on embodiment 1, Figure 2-Figure 7As shown, it also includes a vibration mechanism for vibrating excess chocolate off the surface of the ice cream, the vibration mechanism includes a connecting rod 2, a vibration plate 21, a return spring 22, a servo motor 23, a cam 24 and a waste plate 25, the waste plate 25 is fixedly connected above the support plate 12, the waste plate 25 is located between the cooling box 111 and the chocolate box 110, the servo motor 23 is fixedly connected to the front middle position of the front transverse baffle 13, the cam 24 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 23, the two connecting rods 2 are fixedly connected to the front side of the transverse baffle 13, the connecting rod 2 is located on the left and right sides of the cam 24, the vibration plate 21 is slidably connected between the two connecting rods 2, the vibration plate 21 is pressed and matched with the connecting plate 115, the cam 24 is pressed and matched with the vibration plate 21, the return spring 22 is wound on the connecting rod 2, one end of the return spring 22 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 2, and the other end of the return spring 22 is fixedly connected to the vibration plate 21.

[0037] As shown above, the ice cream will be dipped in chocolate twice in the chocolate box 110. The chocolate liquid on the ice cream just after dipping is easy to drip down, which will cause pollution on the support plate 12. If the chocolate liquid on the ice cream is still dripping and is cooled, the chocolate coating on the ice cream cannot maintain the shape of the ice cream itself. Therefore, a vibration mechanism is required to shake off the dripping chocolate liquid. When the connecting plate 115 and the ice cream are moved to just above the waste plate 25, the chocolate liquid on the ice cream will drip onto the waste plate 25. At this time, the servo motor 23 can be started, and the servo motor 23 will drive the cam 24 to rotate. When the cam 24 rotates from horizontal to vertical, the cam 24 will squeeze the vibration plate 21. Under the squeezing action of the cam 24, the vibration plate 21 will move downward, the return spring 22 will extend, and the vibration plate 21 will squeeze the connecting plate 115 when it moves downward. The ice cream will also move upward. In this way, as the cam 24 rotates from vertical to horizontal, the cam 24 no longer squeezes the vibration plate 21, the return spring 22 will contract, and the return spring 22 will drive the vibration plate 21 to move upward. The vibration plate 21 moves upward and no longer squeezes the connecting plate 115, and the first return spring 16 will contract. The contraction of the first return spring 16 will drive the connecting plate 115 to move upward and reset, and the ice cream will also move upward. In this way, as the cam 24 rotates, the ice cream with chocolate liquid will move up and down repeatedly. The repeated up and down movement of the ice cream will shake off the excess chocolate liquid on the ice cream onto the waste plate 25. After shaking off the excess chocolate liquid, the ice cream will continue to move to the left to the cooling box 111 for cooling. Through the above operation, the excess chocolate liquid on the ice cream dipped in chocolate liquid can be shaken off, which is convenient for cooling and forming the chocolate ice cream.

[0038] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, it also includes a heat insulation cover reset limiting mechanism, the limiting mechanism includes a guide frame 3, a locking rod 31 and a limiting plate 32, the guide frame 3 is fixedly connected to the front side of the support plate 12, the locking rod 31 is slidably connected to the guide frame 3, an inclined surface is provided at the lower right corner of the locking rod 31, the second heat insulation cover 113 is squeezed and matched with the inclined surface at the lower right corner of the locking rod 31, the connecting plate 115 is squeezed and matched with the locking rod 31, the limiting plate 32 is fixedly connected to the locking rod 31, and the limiting plate 32 is used to limit the locking rod 31 to prevent the locking rod 31 from moving downward and sliding out.

[0039] As described above, during the process from when the connecting plate 115 contacts with the first top plate 18 to when it separates from the first top plate 18, the ice cream moves up and down on both sides, and the first heat insulation cover 112 and the second heat insulation cover 113 on the right side are repeatedly opened and closed twice. During the process from when the first heat insulation cover 112 and the second heat insulation cover 113 are closed for the first time to when they are opened for the second time, the ice cream dipped in chocolate will always be located directly above the first heat insulation cover 112 and the second heat insulation cover 113 on the right side, and the chocolate on the ice cream will drip onto the first heat insulation cover 112 and the second heat insulation cover 113. In order to reduce the chocolate liquid dripping onto the first heat insulation cover 112 and the second heat insulation cover 113 and to reduce the first heat insulation cover 112 and the second heat insulation cover 113, The second heat insulation cover 113 has no effective reciprocating movement. Therefore, a limiting mechanism is provided to limit the reset of the second heat insulation cover 113 and the first heat insulation cover 112 after the first movement and opening of the second heat insulation cover 113 on the right side. The working principle of the limiting mechanism is as follows: when the connecting plate 115 moves downward for the first time, the second opening rod 120 moves downward and rotates clockwise, and the lower end of the second opening rod 120 moves to the left. The movement of the lower end of the second opening rod 120 drives the second heat insulation cover 113 to move to the left, and the second heat insulation cover 113 squeezes the lower right inclined surface of the locking rod 31. Under the squeezing action of the second heat insulation cover 113, the locking rod 31 moves upward. When the second opening rod 120 moves downward for the first time, the second opening rod 120 moves clockwise, and the lower end of the second opening rod 120 moves to the left. The movement of the lower end of the second opening rod 120 drives the second heat insulation cover 113 to move to the left. The second heat insulation cover 113 squeezes the lower right inclined surface of the locking rod 31. Under the squeezing action of the second heat insulation cover 113, the locking rod 31 moves upward. After the rod 120 moves to the left side of the locking rod 31, the locking rod 31 will move downward due to gravity, and the locking rod 31 will limit the second heat insulation cover 113 to the left side of the locking rod 31. In this way, when the ice cream moves up and resets for the first time and moves down for the second time, the second opening rod 120 and the first opening rod 119 on the right side cannot drive the second heat insulation cover 113 and the first heat insulation cover 112 on the right side to move. When the ice cream is dipped in chocolate for the second time, the connecting plate 115 moves to the left to squeeze the locking rod 31. When the connecting plate 115 moves upward and resets, it drives the locking rod 31 to move upward as well. The upward movement of the locking rod 31 no longer limits the second heat insulation cover 113 on the right side, and the second return of extension is completed. The positioning spring 116 will shrink, and the second return spring 116 will drive the downward pressure rod 117 to move upward, and the downward pressure rod 117 will drive the second opening rod 120 and the first opening rod 119 to move and reset, and the second opening rod 120 and the first opening rod 119 will drive the second heat insulation cover 113 and the first heat insulation cover 112 to move inward to cover the chocolate box 110, and the connecting plate 115 will gradually disengage from the positioning rod 31 when moving upward and leftward, and the positioning rod 31 will move downward and reset due to gravity, so that the opening stroke of the first heat insulation cover 112 and the second heat insulation cover 113 can be limited, reducing the chocolate dipped on the ice cream from dripping on the first heat insulation cover 112 and the second heat insulation cover 113.

[0040] like Fig.10 and Fig.11As shown, a cleaning mechanism is also included for cleaning out the chocolate dripping on the waste plate 25, and the cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning scraper 4, a rotating motor 41, a longitudinal baffle 42, a rear baffle 43, a front baffle 44, a screw 45 and a second limiting rod 46, the front baffle 44 is fixedly connected above the support plate 12, the front baffle 44 is located on the front side of the waste plate 25, the rear baffle 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rear transverse baffle 13, the rear baffle 43 is located on the rear side of the waste plate 25, and the front and rear baffles 44 and the rear baffle 43 are connected. The rotary motor 41 is symmetrically connected to the waste plate 25, the screw 45 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the rotary motor 41, the second limiting rod 46 is fixedly connected to the waste plate 25, the screw 45 is located on the right side of the second limiting rod 46, the cleaning scraper 4 is slidably connected to the second limiting rod 46, the cleaning scraper 4 is threadedly connected to the screw 45, the cleaning scraper 4 is used to scrape off dripping chocolate liquid, and the two longitudinal baffles 42 are fixedly connected to the cleaning scraper 4, and the longitudinal baffles 42 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right.

[0041] The ice cream dipped in chocolate liquid will shake off the excess chocolate liquid under the vibration of the vibration mechanism. In the process of the chocolate liquid being shaken off from the ice cream, the chocolate liquid is easy to splash everywhere and may splash into the chocolate box 110 and the cooling box 111. In addition, the excessive chocolate liquid that falls on the waste plate 25 is easy to flow into the chocolate box 110 and the cooling box 111. Therefore, the dripping chocolate liquid is mixed with the ice cream. The chocolate liquid flowing into the chocolate box 110 and the cooling box 111 will pollute the chocolate box 110 and the cooling box 111. Therefore, a cleaning mechanism is provided to clean the chocolate. The working principle of the cleaning mechanism is as follows: when the vibration mechanism shakes the chocolate liquid off onto the waste plate 25, part of the chocolate liquid will splash onto the inner side of the rear baffle 43, the longitudinal baffle 42 and the front baffle 44, and the chocolate liquid will stick to the back baffle 43, the longitudinal baffle 42 and the inner side of the front baffle 44. The chocolate liquid on the inner sides of the rear baffle 43, the longitudinal baffle 42 and the front baffle 44 will slide onto the waste plate 25. When the chocolate liquid on the waste plate 25 accumulates more, the rotating motor 41 can be started, and the rotating motor 41 can drive the cleaning scraper 4 to move backward. During the backward movement of the cleaning scraper 4, the chocolate liquid on the waste plate 25 will be pushed backward. At the same time, the cleaning scraper 4 will also drive the longitudinal baffle 42 to move backward together. The staff can clean the pushed out chocolate liquid, and at the same time, the inner walls of the longitudinal baffle 42, the rear baffle 43 and the front baffle 44 can also be cleaned. Through the above operations, the vibration mechanism can be blocked when shaking off the chocolate liquid to prevent the chocolate liquid from contaminating the chocolate box 110 and the cooling box 111, and the excessive chocolate liquid accumulated on the waste plate 25 can be pushed out, which is convenient for the staff to clean.
